    [6] [11] The alpha blocking phenomenon, observed as a state change in brain function, was investigated as a possible trait change as well. One study that examined a variety of meditation techniques tried to show that alpha blocking was affected by the long term practice of meditation by testing response to auditory stimuli. [12]

  3. GABRA2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABRA2

    GABRA2 is an alpha subunit that is part of GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels and are activated by the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain, GABA. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents, such as benzodiazepines (psychoactive drugs) that bind to the GABA-A receptor.

  7. Effects of alcohol on memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_alcohol_on_memory

    Alcohol acts as a general central nervous system depressant, but it also affects some specific areas of the brain to a greater extent than others. Memory impairment caused by alcohol has been linked to the disruption of hippocampal function—particularly affecting gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) neurotransmission which negatively impacts long-term potentiation ...

    The α5 nAChR mediates acute effects of alcohol; a deletion in this gene affects alcohol intake under stressful conditions. [23] The α5 nAChR also mediates short term effects of nicotine. [24] Studies have shown that removing the alpha5 subunit in mice (α5 nAChR knockdown) increases nicotine intake which is rescued by reintroducing the gene. [25]
